With the E9171, CoreAVI will continue that focused support to ensure that the software, hardware, and long-life support are provided to meet the needs of customers’ system lifecy- cles. CoreAVI has extensive environmentally controlled storage facilities that are used to store the GPUs supplied to the Mil/ Aero/Avionics market place, ensuring that a ready supply is available for the duration of any program. CoreAVI also provides the post Last Time Buy storage of GPUs and is often able to provide additional quantities of com- ponents when COTS hardware partners receive increased volume for existing products/systems requiring additional in- ventory. EVALUATION SUPPORT CoreAVI provides evaluation hardware for all its COTS-D Hardware IP designs to enable customers to get started early on platform development. To support customers in the development of their E9171-based graphics/compute applica- tions, CoreAVI offers a standard commercial AMD E9171 development board, compatible with an industry standard PCIe interface. VkCore® SC drivers as well as VkCoreGL® SC1 and VkCoreGL® SC2 application libraries are available for Windows 10. These products are available on a 12-month evaluation license that includes support. Please refer to the VkCore SC and VkCoreGL SC datasheets for more detailed information on these products. coreavi.com [email protected] 3 Figure 3: PCIe Development Board VKCORE SC DRIVER AND VKCOREGL SC LIBRARIES Vulkan is a thin but wide, low-overhead graphics and compute API, targeting high-performance applications by offering higher performance than OpenGL, as well as a more balanced CPU/GPU usage. The Vulkan API enables programmers to access the hardware efficiently through a common API that can be used to support both graphics and compute needs. CoreAVI supports the GPM3001 with a safety certifiable graphics and compute driver solution for the AMD E9171. The E9171 is supported by CoreAVI’s safety critical Vulkan implementation, named VkCore SC, as well as OpenGL SC 1.0.1 and SC 2.0 certifiable graphics driver library suites, named VkCoreGL SC1 and VkCoreGL SC2. The drivers are availa- ble as standard product, developed by CoreAVI as part of its roadmap R&D investments. The OpenGL driver library op- erates through the Vulkan API and allows legacy applications to run on the E9171. Supported shaders include Vertex, Fragment, and Geometry. The drivers are available with certification evidence to support certification to RTCA DO-178C and EUROCAE ED-12C, up to DAL A. TRUECORE™ TrueCore is a GPU safety monitor library designed to interoperate with CoreAVI GPU drivers. TrueCore uses a patented approach to provide a suite of highly engineered Initiated Built-In-Tests (IBIT). These provide test coverage of the intended function of the GPU’s graphics rendering pipeline (graphics command to framebuffer memory). Through the use of several tests, each with a unique test pattern that is verified independently by the CPU, applications are provided with flexibility in optimizing test execution and result filtering that may not be present with FPGA-based approaches. In testing the graphics rendering pipeline, TrueCore is testing one or more instances of each functional IP block, thereby providing test coverage for design errors, common-mode failures, and incorrect function caused by unused and undocumented functions. coreavi.com [email protected] 4 CERTIFICATION SUPPORT CoreAVI provides support for DO-254/APR-4761 processes with a CoreAVI developed Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), which is used to determine BIT routines required for fault detection coverage. Each safety critical product offered by CoreAVI is also provided with a User Integration Manual to support the user in integrating the generic, safety certifiable COTS-D module into the specific system/application into which it is being deployed and certified. VBIOS SUPPORT CoreAVI GPU and graphics driver customers work directly with CoreAVI to obtain a new VBIOS image. With this pro- cess, CoreAVI provides its customers with a VBIOS service that best meets their needs and expectations, eliminates reliance on AMD, and significantly reduces the complexity of obtaining a new VBIOS. In addition, customers will benefit from a rapid turnaround for urgently needed VBIOS versions, will be able to use their existing points of contact at CoreAVI, and will receive support for product development phases, as well as for their VBIOS for the full term of their extended lifecycle support program.

  • Graphics Processing Units
    Graphics Processing Units Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are coprocessors that traditionally perform the rendering of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional graphics information for display on a screen. In particular computer games request more and more realistic real-time rendering of graphics data and so GPUs became more and more powerful highly parallel specialist computing units. It did not take long until programmers realized that this computational power can also be used for tasks other than computer graphics. For example already in 1990 Lengyel, Re- ichert, Donald, and Greenberg used GPUs for real-time robot motion planning [43]. In 2003 Harris introduced the term general-purpose computations on GPUs (GPGPU) [28] for such non-graphics applications running on GPUs. At that time programming general-purpose computations on GPUs meant expressing all algorithms in terms of operations on graphics data, pixels and vectors. This was feasible for speed-critical small programs and for algorithms that operate on vectors of floating-point values in a similar way as graphics data is typically processed in the rendering pipeline. The programming paradigm shifted when the two main GPU manufacturers, NVIDIA and AMD, changed the hardware architecture from a dedicated graphics-rendering pipeline to a multi-core computing platform, implemented shader algorithms of the rendering pipeline in software running on these cores, and explic- itly supported general-purpose computations on GPUs by offering programming languages and software- development toolchains. This chapter first gives an introduction to the architectures of these modern GPUs and the tools and languages to program them. Then it highlights several applications of GPUs related to information security with a focus on applications in cryptography and cryptanalysis.
